"The capacity of manufaeturing plants here is not only at least 10 per cent. greater than in 1929, but actually half as large again as in 1918 when we made our supreme war effort by an abnormal utilization of industrial equipment." This change, illustrated by the fact that raw materials now constitute only about oneâ€"quarter of Canada‘s exports, compared with 4§ per cent. twenty years ago, means that the Dominion is in a much stronger position to supply the Allies with manufactured goods. Britain .......... United States France ......... Italy .............. Germany ... Russig ..:....... Japan ... Britain ... United States ... France :::.~.....: Italy ...........lclllll On the other hand, "Great Britain and France have been in a state of war preparation for some years, and therefore have greatly expanded their armament and productive facilities. They have also accumulated large stocks of materials, while the drain on these accumulated reserves has so far fallen short of preâ€" war anticipations." , "The changes which have taken place in Canaâ€" dian business this year seem to be of an unprecedented nature. The country, I think, has never in any comâ€" parable period had such a sharp rise in general busiâ€" ness as has occurred since last spring. Industrial acâ€" tivity in November was at a record peak, having adâ€" vanced by 33 per cent. from the low point of the winter of 1938â€"39. In the months prior to September business was strongly progressive but was accelerated following the outbreak of the war by the stimulus derived from a rush by manufacturers, traders and the general public to accumulate stock of commodities, in many cases beyond current requirements. Now that the first effects of war influences have passed I expect to see an upward trend in Canadian business and that Great Britain and the United States have the strongest navies. Emergency expansion _ measures Millions of armed men, thousands of warships and untold numbers of planes are at the call of the world‘s great powers in the present war. Accurate estimates for most countries cannot be given, pm larly for air force strength, to rigid secrecy of defence departâ€" ments. During the war, Canada is likely to be prosperous. Mr. A. E.

The progress of the war may change this prosâ€" pect, but in any event the dislocation will be serious and the readjustment correspondingly important. There should be no excuse for failure to anticipate and prepare after the experiences following 1918 still fresh in mind. A great deal is said about the probable effects of new war industries and investments. Doubtless some will prove permanent, and many of them may. It is not inconceivable that the national resources will be taken in hand and that Canada will step ahead without repeating the last postâ€"war difficulties. Nevertheless it would be unwise to carry assumption to this limit. If precedents are upset, well and good. A body of experts could perform an invaluable service by mapâ€" ping out a program, or alternative programs, to deal with whatever conditions are likely to arise.

Writing in a current issue of The Canadian ‘Chartered Accountant, Proâ€" fessor McQueen of Manitoba Univerâ€" sity makes the observation that this generation in ‘Canada which must fight the war must also pay the war and that those who tell us that we can make posterity pay are deceivâ€" #ng both themselves and us.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schumm and family spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Mike Ropp. You see, in this part of the world we usedâ€"until recentlyâ€"to see a great many new Canadians arriving from time to time.

In fact, when you study the eituation in all its aspects, arguâ€" ment plays quite a big role in everyâ€" day life. Every mgeting of a municipal body is an argument if the members of that body are on to their jobs; every conference, whether it be in a busiâ€" ness office, a synod or general sesâ€" slons, every presentation of a case in a court of justicejis an argument. It is true that in recent years afterâ€" noon tea is becoming quite a French custom but it has not yet reached far ‘beyond the confines of the cities. Fashion is entirely beyond me. And you, too. if you are a male, I am willing to bet. It is perhaps harder for me to understand than for youâ€" unless you, too, live in a seaportâ€" why the kerchief worn round their hair by so many girls today has reached its present popularity. Personally, even up in the front line, I would rather have a good cup of ‘"Sergeantâ€"Major‘s Tea" than an issue of wineâ€"even if the wine was served hot, which is how the French troops get itâ€"but, it all depends! It is unfortunate that to most of us plainâ€" people argument usually means altercation or contradiction. And it is unfortunate, too, that we use English so loosely that substiâ€" tution of the wordâ€""debate" calms all our fears and‘ permits us to take pride in the fact that our youngsters in school are proficient in &n art that we deprecated in their formaâ€" tive years as "argument". they get up towards the higher grades at school They are encouraged to argue. You may call it a debate The general idea, I suppose, is to separate the French from us. But isn‘t it typically German that the program designed ~to make the French annoyed with the British should be given in a language not generally understood in France? "It All Depends‘ When is an argument! Even in these enlightoned days children are frequently admonished not to answer All of this grows from my daughâ€" ter‘s assignment to debate affirmaâ€" tively that teachers have had more influence upon the world than docâ€" tors. _ We started" searching our minds for examples and, of course, made the obvious discovery that teachers are to be found in every walk of life, that all of usâ€"milkmen, farmers, streetâ€"car conductors, wriâ€" ters, qlumbersâ€"are teachers at some time or other. We had quite an interesting arguâ€" ment about it!

It seems then and silk that the "wheat supply situation" Â¥hile ©IF will for some time far outweigh any t not the strengthening of the "demand facâ€" tore." _ Many Canadians are quite conâ€" cerned at present over the apparent unwillingness of Britain to buy Canâ€" adian wheat. No outsider can adâ€" vance with assurance reasons for this apathy. Certain good reasons suggest themselves. It would ‘be the part of wisdom for the British Govâ€" ernment to "mop up" the wheat supâ€" plies of the Danube basin. Wise heâ€" cause it would deprive Gernany of potential sources of supplies, and it is also wise to make purchases in those countries whose friendship you desire to maintain and whose economic structure needs support against the economic penetration of our enemies.» So also is there good reason to continue purchasing Argenâ€" tine wheat and thus keep our export markets in South America for Welsh coal and other products. Germany has been making great inroads into South American markets. This is time to regain these markets. We should then not be too hasty in conâ€" demning the present British wheat purchasing policy.
